Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not actually one
rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the
Router can transmit. (The Basic Rate is not the actual rate
of data transmission. If you want to specify the Router’s
rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission
Rate setting.) The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to
the other wireless devices in your network, so they know
which rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that
it will automatically select the best rate for transmission.
The default setting is Default, when the Router can
transmit at all standard wireless rates (1-2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps,
11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, and 24 Mbps). Select 1-2 Mbps for
use with older wireless technology. Select All, when the

CTS Protection Mode The Router automatically
uses CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode when your
Wireless-N and Wireless-G devices are experiencing severe
problems and are not able to transmit to the Router in an
environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This option boosts
the Router’s ability to catch all Wireless-N and Wireless-G
transmissions but severely decreases performance. To use
this option, keep the default, Auto. To disable this option,
select Disabled.
Beacon Interval A beacon is a packet broadcast by the
Router to synchronize the wireless network. The Beacon
Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the
beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 65,535 milliseconds.
The default value is 100.
DTIM Interval This value, between 1 and 255, indicates
the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 1.
Fragmentation Threshold This value specifies the
maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented
into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet
error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low
may result in poor network performance. Only minor
reduction of the default value is recommended. In most
cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the
appropriate computers. Select this option to enable the
filter. This option is disabled by default.
RTS Threshold Should you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the
preset Request to Send (RTS) threshold size, the RTS/CTS
(Clear to Send) mechanism will not be enabled. The Router
sends RTS frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving
an RTS, the wireless station responds with a CTS frame
to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS
Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347
